## What it is
Pget is a fast, resumable command-line file download client written in Go that uses parallel multi-connection HTTP requests to speed up downloads. It supports multiple mirrors, resuming interrupted downloads, and cross-compilation for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

## Use cases
- download large files faster than wget
- resume interrupted downloads from the command line
- download a file from multiple mirrors in parallel
- parallelize HTTP downloads with multiple connections
- fetch ISO images quickly from the terminal

## When to choose
- you need faster downloads than wget/curl for large files on servers that support range requests
- you want a resumable downloader with multi-mirror support
- you need a single cross-platform binary with no dependencies

## When to avoid
- the server is behind a CDN that throttles or ignores range requests
- you need features like authentication, cookies, or recursive downloading
- the project appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
